almost 100% in
catheterized pt.
Some resolve
spontaneously, some
become symptomatic
>100,000 CFU/ml
without symptoms or
signs
Benign, transient,
and does not require
AB.
Therapy is proven
ineffective in
reducing morbidity
and mortality rate.
Screen before
genitourinary
procedure,
If + Levofloxacin
500mg SD PO
Diagnosis
history
Burning sensation when voiding, frequency, urgency, bed wetting, fall, fatigue
Difficult to assess due to symptoms overlap, decreased cognitive
lab
Culture results
therapy
Walking well patients:
1st line: Sulfonamid or ampicilin (3d)
2nd line : kuinolon
Prostitis
Acute : kuinolon, sulfa (4-6wk)
Chronic : culutre and sensitivity test AB 12wk
Conclusion
Various geriatric populations are affected by UTIs.
Each of these populations is impacted in different
ways and requires a different treatment
approach.
Symptoms of UTI in elderly patients may differ
from general population
The treatment must be based on the patient's
overall health, underlying chronic conditions, and
ability to care for himself or herself.
